Scheduling jobs and Notifications

CYPEX is in charge of handling everything from rapid prototyping to full application development.

When building a full application, it can become necessary to schedule jobs. CYPEX offers the means to make that happen using pg_timetable, a job scheduler developed by CYBERTEC. It’s able to handle all kinds of job execution tasks.

Let’s take a look at a sample use case:

• When a contract is entered, somebody else should be notified
• If there is no response, try again in two weeks

The way to integrate job scheduling with CYPEX is by using standard SQL tables. In pg_timetable, every job is stored in tables. By writing database-side code, you have a transactional way of scheduling jobs.
